Primary Visual Cortex as a Saliency Map: A Parameter-Free Prediction and Its Test by Behavioral Data
Fig 3
Behavioral refutation of a spurious prediction based on the incorrect assumption that V1 lacks neurons tuned simultaneously to both orientation and color.
The graphs show distributions (in discrete time bins) of RTO, RTC, and RTCO (and the average and the standard deviation of RTCO) of a particular observer SA in searches of the singletons. Experimental data are shown in red, the prediction is in blue. The predicted and actual distributions of RTCO are significantly different from each other, indicated by a p < 0.002 in the bottom plot.
